Server Description
An ARM-powered virtual machine delivering high memory bandwidth, dedicated physical cores, and substantial local storage for parallelized database and enterprise workloads.
Microsoft Azure D48pds_v6 is an ARM-based general-purpose virtual machine from the Dpdsv6 family, powered by a 48-core Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor running at 3.4 GHz. It features 192.0 GB of RAM, 2835 GB of local storage, and is premium storage capable. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers top-tier memory bandwidth and multi-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench multi-core score of 22118.0 and exceptional database operations throughput. While single-core performance and large-model LLM inference are average to weak, its high memory bandwidth and dedicated core allocation offer excellent qualitative cost efficiency for parallel workloads. The D48pds_v6 is highly suited for database hosting, multi-threaded software compilation, static web serving, and general-purpose enterprise workloads requiring local storage.
